Trump Says He Won’t Rule Out Third Reich

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

Read the letter of resignation from SDNY AUSA Hagan Scotten, Bronze Star recipient, former clerk to Chief Justice Roberts. Bravo!
👏👏👏

Respect to @anntelnaes.bsky.social for quitting the Washington Post due to censorship over her on-point cartoon. More of this from artists and writers, please. Don't obey in advance, especially to the broligarchy.

I asked ChatGPT: If you had to explain to someone the history of trade wars and how they turn out generally, what would you say?

Answer: “trade wars are costly, unpredictable, and rarely effective in achieving their goals, often leaving all parties worse off and returning to the negotiating table.”

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."
